When you're writing an essay on Hamlet, and when you compare his delay to Shinji's many delays in manning up.

I direct your attention to this post several pages back. And I'm still considering it, even if it is a nerdy thing to do.

I did that, and my teacher encouraged me to enter it in a creative writing competition. I mentioned this already on this thread, but I am updating it I suppose. I was highly commended for the story, but I did not win. I actually do not care.

^ You should post in the Fanfiction section, then. Some of us are always up for looking at a potentially good fic.

And I'd have probably done that too...but I was finished with school by the time I discovered Eva/started writing fics.

Actually, the local Best Buy has 2.22 DVDs. So, I'll just buy them there.

After the purchasing, I'll have $6.02 left.

Okay, time to go back on topic. (I actually didn't really have anything else to say)

When you have the whole series, vol 1-13 and the 2 films VHS dubbed, the black DVD box collection, the platinum thin-pack, the Platinum box set, the two director's cut DVDs, The red 'Madman' Evangelion DVD Feature Film Box, and extra copies of the film on DVD as well.

Also when you've downloaded 12 GB worth of Evangelion Soundtracks in FLAC format, but spend all day looking for copies to purchase. I also like collecting VHS rips and fansubs...

Don't call me crazy.

Shh.. I also used to pretend the Eva cast were my imaginary friends. We were having pizza once with guests over, God knows what I did. We never had friends over again.

I used to run around screaming "Shinji!" "Asuka!" and do roleplaying shit in my backyard.

I actually remember during English class, we had an assignment where we just got a piece of paper and for like two minutes, wrote down whatever words came to mind.

I actually have the paper with me, this is all the Eva related things that were in my mind and flowed onto el papel.

Shinji (x4), LCL (x2), Eva (x5), Rei (x12), Mari (x7), Nerv (x1), Seele (x1), Zankokuna Tenshi no Teeze (x1), Evangelion (x3), Tabris (x5), Pen Pen (x6), Gendo (x1), Asuka (x5), Yebichu (x2), Yebisu (x4), Ramiel (x3), Zeruel (x5), Sachiel (x1), Toji (x3).

Yes, I just counted. :I

On an anime thread on another forum that I visit, I say that a 19-year-old Asuka has invaded my life after punching me in the face after jumping out of my laptop screen, as well as a 19-year-old Mari who gives great massages.

My craziness spread to you before you even knew me.

Guess who is AikoHeiwaIsAwsum on DeviantART?

Also when you get angry when you can't find any Eva DVDs at Best Buy and then all excited when you find it. c:

Also when you get a glass of orange soda and call it LCL.

I did both of these today.

I'm sure that the MAGI system is a Beowulf cluster of GNU/Linux boxen. The prototypes probably ran Solaris or AIX.

Why yes, Gendo is my favorite character.
